The anti-immigration PVV, led by Geert Wilders, has published a one page list of the party’s main campaign points for the March general election. The draft election programme, with the name ‘The Netherlands is ours again’, contains 11 points, most of which focus on what Wilders’ calls ‘de-islamising’ the Netherlands.

The PVV wants to close all refugee centres, close all mosques and Islamic schools and introduce a ban on the Koran.

Spending would be increased on the police, armed forces and nursing homes. [DutchNews] Read more
